Purple Hair Update!

Due to personal crap, I haven't posted a whole lot any where lately. I think its easier to whine about my shit than it is to post helpful or interesting stuff, I'm not sure if that makes me selfish or self-centered, either way, my apologies.

*sigh* OK, my hair story, haha.

To pick up where we left off…THE MESS I MADE! 

Just messy!

Then a few days after the color had time to fade a bit…

As you can see, my bottom layer is very dark, it still looks almost black.


Now to compare:

BEFORE

 AFTER

HOMEMADE PURPLE DYE FTW!!! I love it, I'm just excited to lighten it a bit so it blinds everyone with its purple glory :)

Until next time, stay cray cray!!

My Recent Hair Journey pt.2

BEFORES

As I said before "I can't leave my hair alone!"

After my disappointing encounter with my last attempt, this is what I did:

• Further searched for options
• Had a semi-melt down
• My bestest bought a box of "Born Blonde" 
• Applied the Born Blonde to head, following the instructions closely
• Almost DIED from the fumes of that stuff
• Freaked out when the pink I mixed with the purple SURVIVED the born blonde
• Sigh of relief when the majority of it washed away with my healing hair masque 
• Jumped for joy this morning when my hair looked like this:

Don't mind mah mornin' fayce XP

And, Right Now:

Mah hand is purple beecause I am strand testing a wonderful Homemade Hair dye! Its actually working wonderfully! MUCH better than the color jamz <3

Now, Please know that I am not smashing on Color jamz!!! I really love their colors and prices! My whining is only due to my OWN hair! If I could get my hair super bright, bet yo azz that I'd be using some color jamz on mah head.

I will show the final result in my next post :) Stay tuned for the lovely purple monstaaaaah!!

My Recent Hair Journey

Recently, I had talked about going back to purple….

The steps I took:

1.  Bleach bath (30 vol developer) half bleach, half shampoo
2. 3/4 just bleach (30 vol)
3. One week later, another 3/4 just bleach (30 vol)
4. A few days later, a full head bleach(30 vol)
5. Again, full head bleach(30 vol)
6. All of my hair being orange now, I tried Color Jamz purple and pink mix….

Summed up in 13 seconds:

It DID NOT turn out how I wanted!!!

I told myself that I should have used manic panic BECAUSE, it sticks to darker blonde and orange WAAAY better than color jamz :'(

But, now….I have to find a magical way to pull money out of my ass….meaning I have to find a crappy minimum wage job until school starts.

Though, my life seems to be sharting on me once more, I must take it for what it is and not complain.

If you are trying to get away from black dyed hair, I'm so sorry to inform you….You MUST bleach it. I've tried EVERYTHING ELSE! And bleaching is the most efficient and fast way to do so.

ALWAYS deeeeep condition! Let your hair rest between bleaches and good luck. Hope you enjoyed either way :)

What About Hair?!

 I'm the type of girl who can't leave her hair alone! Once I start…I can't stop. What I mean, I have this obsession with my hair and when I get an idea, that idea becomes real and there is no stopping me MUAHAHAA! Ahem, sorry, I'm just excited.

This is me, I've been growing mah damn roots out for MONTHS! But, that black just does not want to budge. 

Yesterday I started my stripping process. I am now fully committed and…I find out that I may need to get a job, soon!

This is me…this morning. as you can see, I have orange/red/brown/coppery hair going on. How the hell am I gonna get a job looking like a calico cat?!!

After searching the corners of the universe, NO ONE has found a healthy way of "quickly" fixing this without going BACK to black! Now, I've bleached my hair from black to purple dozens of times, I was just worried about the damage it'll do THIS time.

NO! I don't wanna go back to black…or brown…I wanted purple….like this

I actually achieved purple and white hair!! It was beautiful…but super short. Now my hair is long and I want it pretty colors. Damn these workplaces that don't allow pretty colors!

So, I ordered a few cheap wigs from amazon…I want thiiiis! lol I'm gonna go crazy!

I thought I'd post my progress pics on here so everyone can have some insight on my journey :)

Yay! 1,000 views!

I'm delighted to announce my celebration of 1,000 views on my gothic blog!!! 

I would love to post a photo shoot that I've been day dreaming about for months! My method may be strange and unpractical, but I'm excited!

Any suggestions, Please comment below and let me know what you are picturing!

The only thing I miss about B.C. is the industrial areas. I used to hope and pray that we wouldn't get shot. Ha, seriously though!

To wig, or Not to wig...

That is a question for us Goth Folk!

Wigs come in many quality categories, but the most popular is usually the least expensive and the most itchy!

I have a lot of hair, so its hard for me to wear hair pieces that require snug fitting. I do, however, love clip-in/tie-in  pieces! I've made a handful of pretty colored head things.

Being a diy-er and a goth at heart, it is no surprise that I've looked like this:

...or this....

(((So, I guess hair pieces have always been "my thing". I remember how excited I was when I made all of these. Every piece has a story, but shockingly, I no longer own any of them, now! I am an artist, I can make some similar, but I could never ever clone any of these pieces! I've tried)))

Now, Some of us do not like hair pieces, but some of us have gone out of our way to purchase or create some kind of extravagant creation to wear! Here it is again, To wig or not to wig?

What are the pros and cons of wearing hair gear of every category?

Does it not always come back down to the price? When I originally made either of these pieces, I did it to: 

1. Save money
2. Be original
3. Create for others
4. Artistically express myself through my appearance.

None of this was cheap! Even buying the cheapest materials, It ended costing a few hundred dollars altogether due to the learning process. When I started, there were 2 tutorials on youtube and only a few pictures...I learned the hard way. It was a fun, yet, a frustrating process, but I would not trade those experiences for the world! Now that I know how to do these things, I want to share with everyone else who is interested, I want to be the one that starts a 16 year old girl on her dread making, or clip-ins selling extravaganza!! I want my people to join me in creating and DIY-ing! I want us to come together and share our knowledge and our methods of madness!!

WHOSE WITH ME?!!
